VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 1

A cloud administrator is managing a VMware Cloud on AWS environment consisting of a single cluster with six hosts. There have been no changes made to the Elastic DRS configuration.
In which two situations will Elastic DRS add another host to the cluster? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. When availability zone failure occurs
• B. When memory utilization reaches 90%
• C. When network utilization reaches 90%
• D. When CPU utilization reaches 90%
• E. When storage utilization reaches 80%

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Elastic DRS adds hosts primarily to maintain availability and resource capacity. An availability zone failure (A) necessitates additional hosts to ensure continued service, while high storage utilization (E) indicates a need for more resources to manage data effectively. The other options focus on memory, network, and CPU utilization, which do not trigger host additions under the current Elastic DRS settings.
